You may know Japanese Knotweed as an invasive edible (it's young shoots), but the root is incredibly medicinal! Not only has it been shown to support the immune system, but the circulatory system as well. Its probably most known for its anti-inflammatory properties, reducing inflammation in the airways during respiratory distress. We started really utilizing all that this root has to offer when we learned about it's ability to heal our bodies from mold toxicity. It has incredible amounts of resveratrol! Japanese Knotweed is pretty well known at this point for Lyme as well, however more and more studies are coming out showing just how incredible it is for immunomodulation. Its been found to protect ACE2 (enzymes attached to cells in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver ect) by preventing viral attachment. It's been shown to be a powerful anti inflammatory and contains vitamin A and C, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and manganese. All are incredibly important right now. It has high resveratrol levels, more then any other plant that we know of. Its been found to help keep arteries and blood vessels dialted to help prevent blood clots.
